“The Nakota language is very sacred. The Nakota culture is very sacred. When you don’t know your language and your culture, you don’t know who you are,” said Armand McArthur in the National Film Board of Canada documentary, To Wake Up the Nakota Language.
We had some financial difficulties a few years ago, and Saskatchewan command installed an advisory committee to watch over us. We ve been under the advisory committee for four years. And as of (Dec. 15) we ve been released from the advisory committee, said Royal Canadian Legion Estevan branch president Jim (Frosty) Forrest. It s good work that the branch has done and the support of the community as well. The legion also held the election of officers the same night. Forrest was re-elected as the branch president for the next two years. Tyson Wilhelm was elected the first vice-president. Willie Forrest is now the second vice-president. Leonard Grube was elected the legion’s treasurer, and Willie Forrest is also sergeant at arms. Other executive officers were also elected.
